I had this procedure back in February.
It took this long to get a second one scheduled because somehow the rednecks didn't do it right, so I need to see a specialist.
I really hope that this specialist doesn't say "You didn't follow our directions so you need to call to reschedule."
"I called four times for directions! We drove all of the way down from Show Low for this! We spent $290 for a hotel just for one night! It took me six months to get this appointment!"
I would expect the doctor to shrug and walk away.
It sounds like I needed to cancel my Saturday appointments, drive down this morning, and stand by to stand by.

The VA ensured that I took everything, but didn't ask when I took everything.
I'm guessing that matters. This alleged specialist was able to accomplish even less than the redneck in February.
Some know-it-all nurse practitioner is supposed to call me.
She will probably leave one voice mail and then never answer.
Are they going to schedule a third [six months from now] or say "You may die, but that's a chance we're willing to take?
I wasn't even concerned about this test, I just wanted to do it right.
I have had a hernia my whole life, but they said I needed to do this before I could get that checked out.
Will they ever check out my hernia?!
My family was supposed to push me to the car in a wheelchair. Mom wasn't there when they called her.
I hope she went to get the car, but for some reason I had the keys.
Why did I have the keys?!
Mom wasn't pushing my wheelchair!
I needed to get a wheelchair to push her!
I told my brother to push my wheelchair, but that was terrible, so I quickly told him to stop, got up, had Mom sit down, and I pushed her.
Is it expected or unexpected to push your mom in a wheelchair after you get out of the hospital?
I went back for my brother and then returned the wheelchair.
I wasn't supposed to do any of that!
Mom drove us back and it was horrifying. Somehow I was still responsible for getting us home safely, she refused to stay in her lane, and she kept yelling at me.
I started looking into a sedan service, but if I ever do this again I'm renting a VRBO near the hospital.
Mom would be okay driving me a couple of miles.
